You'll need to find the "version" that is recorded in your 7.5.x export and edit your 8.x export to report that version before it will even let you attempt to import from what I recall. After that, as noted, Caveat Emptor.

If you want to see the correct syntax for your previous effort:

Code: Select all

Left(link.abc_def,1) = 'C'
That could be done as part of an if-then-else construct or left as-is to set a boolean value in a stage variable or constraint.

So... you are trying to compare a valid date in one database with a null date in another? What's "not working" about it? What are you expecting to happen?

I find it curious that the vast majority of your posts seem like "interview questions" rather than any kind of problem that you are actually having. We don't really allow the former here but we're more than happy to help with the latter.
